The lamps within the project combine simply a piece of cloth and a piece of wire that leverages Issey Miyake's signature fabric expertise. The illuminators were also co-developed with [Ambientec](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-o-series-1) to puts its specialization of portable lighting elements in focus. The final result most recently was showcased at 3daysofdesign earlier this month in Copenhagen where visitors were able to physically interact with the lamps at Gallery 2112 rather than only looking at them. The ongoing TYPE-XIII Atelier Oï project explores the complexity of material, design and decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 78% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textile-based Lighting:** Fabric-led illumination blends fashion engineering with home decor, creating potential for soft, sculptural lighting products that can be folded, pleated, and reshaped around changing interiors. - **Minimal-material Design:** Simple combinations of cloth and wire point to a new class of low-component products where premium aesthetics, reduced waste, and lightweight construction converge. - **Interactive Design Showcases:** Hands-on gallery experiences transform decorative objects into tactile brand encounters, opening space for experiential retail models that deepen consumer understanding of material innovation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Lighting:** Portable illuminators with fashion-inspired forms expand the lighting category beyond function, supporting differentiated products that operate as art, decor, and ambient technology. - **Fashion Design:** Signature textile techniques entering the lighting market reveal how apparel expertise can migrate into interiors, furniture, and lifestyle goods with distinctive material identities. - **Interior Decor:** Pleated sculptural lamps introduce adaptable design elements for residential and commercial spaces, signaling demand for decor that feels collectible, flexible, and materially expressive. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural 3d-Printed Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Hybrid Chair Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artchitecture.md) - [Lightweight Paper-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplat-lamp.md) - [Pleated Fabric Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apoc-able.md) - [Sculptural Layered Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onda-table-lights.md) - [24-Faceted Color Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aoi.md) - [Stealthy Pendant Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp.md) - [Flat Textile Fashion Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/typeo-cap.md)
